Random Simpsons Quotes

I came across these and had to share. My favorite Simspons episode is season five, "Lisa the Vegetarian" so many classic lines. My favorite is when Lisa's whole family reacts to her suggestion of vegetables at their BBQ with a conga-line and chant: "You don't win friends with sal-ad. . . You don't win friends with sal-ad!"

Enjoy!

Huh?

So we just got a corrected assessment of our home from the County Assessor's office(they had it listed with 1. a finished basement, 2. central air, and 3. a fireplace--nope, nope, and negatory good buddy). The value from '07 to '08 went down $18,500. Eee gads! I guess this is a good thing, because our '09 taxes will reflect the lower value. But I still feel ripped off. What would it cost me to get a finished basement, central air and a fireplace? My guess is it'd cost more than $18,500.


We have been thinking about trying to get started on our basement all summer, but have been having too much fun doing stuff. Don't worry, not expensive fun. We're still saving up our moolah for the renovations. But the free movies every week at the mall and free lunches four days a week at the YMCA make me glad I don't live in a small town. But it's also not a big city either since we can easily ride bikes along a nature-filled trail to the YMCA. All that's missing is a farmer's market within walking distance. There's one in Millwood, which is in our ward boundaries, but it's a few miles west. (Our ward boundaries are geographically larger than the city.) Here are pictures of the kids at the free movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" last week:

(Smile, the movies are sponsored by Burger King!)

BTW, I'm never going back to watching regular TV. Ever. We have DVR and I feel pretty efficient watching my HGTV/Daily Show/TLC shows! It's like muting all the commercials only better!!!!! Wait, that last sentence needs more exclamation points. !!!!!!!!!! There. And guess what, Dave, I'm even DVR-ing a Glenn Beck show so I can see what the crap you've fallen in love with!

Itty Bitty

Nice shirt, girl. . .

. . . but it's his!

Demolicious

I was at Costco emptying my wallet of it's contents, as I do on a regular basis, when I came across a demo so delicious I had to buy it. It was a vegetable stir fry with "Soy Vey Veri Veri Teriaki" sauce. The name of the teriaki sauce almost convinced me NOT to buy it (on the label it says that a Jewish boy met a Chinese girl. . . they loved cooking. . . and each other. . . and began their company "Soy Vey"). In spite of a cheesy name, the stir fry was nummy. I'm talking holy delicious, batman! The stir fry vegetables are Kirkland brand, but a total step up from their usual stir fry mix. Edamame, huge chunks of broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn. . . it's so good you don't notice that it's nutritious! I'm going to try it with strips of beef because the flavor is reminiscent of L&L's teri beef. If there's a Costco in your area, go give it a try.

Pics and a TARDY Visit from the Toof Fairy

Ben's WSDOT soccer team. Ben is standing 3rd from the right

(and his sis, Jen, is standing next to him). Baby and me at the soccer complex. You can see the arching

baseball fence/netting in the background. A pretty impressive set-up.
The Coeur d'Alene 4th of July Parade. R, Ben, William (one of my CTR 7 kiddos), and C. She's pretty smitten!
J, whose finger is near, but not in, his nose, William, and S. on the parade route.



We had a picnic with William's family after the parade.

The baby thought the watermelon was delish--rind and all.

TOOTH FAIRY STORY:
About a month or so ago, J's bottom tooth was loose. (Finally!) Then about two weeks ago, he noticed that it wasn't loose anymore. Turns out his adult tooth had already grown in behind the baby tooth and stopped the baby tooth from wiggling. I arranged with our dentist to get his baby tooth pulled at their dentist appointment Monday (R. and J. needed to get molars filled). But Sunday evening the kids were in the van headed to a friend's house after attending his baptism at the stake center. I got out to the van and J's mouth was bloody. He had been biting on a small rubber snake, when S. yanked the snake out of his mouth. This popped his poor baby tooth loose. The idea of not having the dentist pull his tooth out was all the encouragement he needed. J. wiggled all evening and all the next morning. I told him I didn't think a dentist would need to pull out the tooth for him, but he didn't want to take any chances. He was wiggling like mad all the way to the dentist's office. After I parked the van at the dentist's office, he ran up to the front seat shouting "My tooth is out!" Anyone looking for a dramatic screenplay about a boy and his first lost tooth?

Oh, there's more drama--Ben thought I was taking care of "calling" the tooth fairy and I thought he was. Bad parenting! I remembered Tuesday morning and called Ben at work to ask him if he delivered anything to J's pillow. He said he never did. J. was quiet about not finding $$ but when I asked him he said "No, the tooth fairy didn't come." I said "Go look again!" He found the tooth fairy money--which had "accidentally" fallen between the mattress and the bed rail. He didn't think to look there and was satisfied that it'd been there all along! Wink, wink.

I think that's about all I can think of for the week. Have some great summer days!
